Waste of Money

The app was super glitchy, locking multiple times. Tried to reach out to app support and landed me on a page with no support options.

Better than I imagined

This has been such a brilliant experience, such a challenging little game that is so unassuming and simple at first. There are multiple layers of adventure and puzzle and some challenges have had us stumped for days. We’ve loved every minute and haven’t reached the end as yet; couldn’t recommend this game enough.

60fps?

Wir haben nun 2026 und das Spiel läuft noch immer nur mit 30fps. Warum!?

面白いのですが、、

Great game, so-so port

Loved this game on PC, still pretty good for iPad, but locked at 30 fps, low graphics settings, no keyboard support. The newer ipad pros could definitely handle higher settings - the low frame rate is consistently bothersome

これ好き

やりがいのあるパズルゲーム、ひらめきゲームが好きなのでどっぷりとはまりました。解法を得た時の快感がたまらないです。iPhone16で正常に発熱無く動きました。

Just WOW

Never felt emotional about end credits before. The entire thing is just stellar.

FIXED!! Love it but now it doesn’t load

I’ve been really enjoying this for the last week but as of this morning when I open it, it just closes ( iOS 26.1) looks like there was an update yesterday? Rebooting phone didn’t help. Please fix!
EDIT- it loads now ; thank you!!

Crash to homescreen (fixed)

CTH is fixed… love it… 😍
Would give 5* if a 60 fps option is available.

Crashes After Update

Purchased 2 weeks before update and now can't play it. Smh....

Just bought the app and it won’t open

When I try to open the app, it immediately closes.

Game stopped saving

I lost all progress. And the developer site is a YouTube video with no way for help

Doesn’t work in 2025

Seems to not work on current Apple hardware

Not good

It’s not good the tap to walk doesn’t work I’m tapping the entire screen trying to see if there’s a good spot and you never move. It’s impossible to relax and enjoy maybe update and add the virtual joystick which should be common in game navigation. I want my money back

weird texture rendering

great game, but ever since ive updated my ipad to the latest version. the game has a graphics issue. everything looks sandy.

Don’t waste your money

Very hard to control and not obvious what you need to do. I found the game to be entirely frustrating not fun or relaxing.

Fastidieux

J’aime bien les énigmes, bien qu’elles soient dures. En revanche il n’y a aucun intérêt à nous faire errer dans ce décors sans vie. Je passe beaucoup trop de temps à chercher et en plus la maniabilité est médiocre aussi bien en tactile qu’avec une manette. Les énigmes à base de reflets lumineux sont un calvaire car il faut se placer à un endroit qu’on met des heures à trouver pour avoir le bon point de vue. Le principe est sympa, mais une fois qu’on l’a compris, où est le fun de nous faire galérer à ce point pour trouver le bon spot ?
Les seuls éléments « narratifs » sont des bouts de conférences philosophiques, pas inintéressants en soi, mais bon sang que c’est lourd ! C’est pas un jeu ce truc, on ne s’amuse pas, on ne se divertit pas. Je trouve que le gars qui a pensé ce « jeu » se prend trop au sérieux et passe à côté de quelque chose de l’ordre de la joie.
Même la bande son (pas de musique) est sinistre.
Franchement, mieux vaudrait une simple succession d’énigmes, comme un magazine de jeux genre mots fléchés.
